When you're dead, you're dead. When you're gone, you're gone.
Unless, of course, you're not.
And that's where I come in.

1897.
Twelve-year-old Peggy Devona is a Whisperling: someone who can speak with the dead. It's a rare skill that she tries to keep secret from the rest of her quiet village, who fear anyone different.

But when her best friend is accused of murder and thrown in prison, Peggy realises she must use her abilities to save Sally - and solve the case.

Travelling to her uncle's psychic emporium, she finds herself surrounded by new friends, new enemies . . . and new spirits.

Time is running out, and each day Peggy draws nearer to the truth also brings Sally one step closer to the gallows . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

I laughed, I shed a tear, I loved the brilliant ending (with the tantalising hope of a sequel). One of the best debuts I've read in YEARS!

A thrilling Gothic page-turner

A captivating and spine-tingling read. . .paints a vivid picture of the Victorian era

The dark of this Gothic adventure is brightened by the sparky resilience of its characters...it sends multiple shivers down the spine and delivers thrilling twists along the way

Atmospheric & gripping as well as witty. Loved the gothic girl power of Peggy
